Biography
Ray Reno was born in Texas, the brother of Vance Reno, Clint Reno, and Brett Reno. Their father was killed in a Union Army raid during the American Civil War, and they headed off to join the Confederate States Army and become cavalry raiders under Randall's Cavalry Brigade. On 10 April 1865, they stole over $12,000 from the Union in a train robbery at Greenwood, Louisiana, although they would later find out that the war was over; they became criminals with a small fortune. They would be arrested by lawmen later in April after the paymaster identified them as the robbers, and they were taken on a train to a courthouse for trial; Clint Reno and their friend Mike Gavin rescued them. The Reno gang went on the run, but Ray and Brett agreed to go with Vance to turn themselves in to save their lives. They were granted amnesty after turning their shares of the money over to the government. However, they would carry out several bank and train robberies in Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri during the later 1860s, and they were captured in 1868. On 21 December 1868, a lynch mob stormed the prison, captured the Reno brothers, and lynched them.
